ETHICAL WORKING ENVIRONMENT: In our workshop, we put the needs and comfort of our artisans at the forefront, ensuring their working space is clean and safe— even fun! We supply them with high-quality materials and tools so that they are able to practice their craft to the absolute best of their abilities. We cultivate an environment centered on professional development and self care, setting aside time each week for both.
RESPONSIBLE SUPPLY CHAIN: At every step of our supply chain, we purchase from responsible and ethical suppliers.Our wool is sourced from rural shepherds, then hand-dyed using low-impact dyes before being woven into a beautiful, one-of-a-kind rug. We believe in supporting small businesses, the heart of the world economy. No huge suppliers or harsh chemicals, it’s just that simple.
PRESERVING TRADITIONS:Women are the bearers of the Moroccan weaving tradition and each woman, family, and region upholds distinct styles and techniques, honed over hundreds of years. Though the recent design trend in vintage Moroccan rugs shines a very well deserved light on their unique beauty, vintage on its own does little to support artisans who are alive and weaving today. Buying contemporary creates financial incentive for the weavers to preserve their craft and pass cultural knowledge on to their children, thus protecting the weaving tradition for generations to come.

Will my computer fit in this backpack?
Likely, yes! We tested this with a 17" laptop, the biggest one we could find. It was a perfect fit.
How should I clean my backpack?
Stains can be blotted out of the woven wool by adding warm water directly to the stain and blotting all liquid out of the wool with a towel. The water will help release the spilled liquid from the wool. If a stain remains, you can spot treat with a gentle, natural, wool safe stain remover.
